Ravindra Jadeja, the Indian all-rounder, is certainly one of the best fielders of the world and he is an asset for whichever team he plays because he contributes not only with the bat and ball but with his fielding as well.
Though Moeen Ali may have been adjudged as the player of the match in the last match of Chennai Super Kings which was against Rajasthan Royals, we can’t ignore the essential fact that Ravindra Jadeja also played an important role in CSK’s win as he not only took four catches while fielding but also dismissed two batsmen with his bowling including the wicket of Jos Buttler (49), the highest scorer of RR who could have increased the chances of RR’s win to a great extent if Jadeja had not got him out. Ravindra Jadeja took catches of Manan Vohra, Riyan Parag, Chris Morris and Jaydev Unadkat.
The fans of Jadeja were also very excited with his brilliant performance and they expressed their happiness on the social media networks, especially on the micro-blogging site Twitter. In fact, some of his fans called him the greatest of all times (G.O.A.T) fielder. Here are some selected reactions:

Some time ago, the former England cricketer Michael Vaughan slammed the Board of Control for Cricket In India (BCCI) for not including Ravindra Jadeja in the A+ category (Rs. 7 crore) when the board announced the list of 28 Indian cricketers who were awarded with the annual contracts.
Michael Vaughan called it a disgrace that Jadeja was not included in the top category after Virat Kohli and post Jadeja’s wonderful performance in the match against RR, Vaughan once again took to Twitter and wrote, “That’s exactly why @imjadeja is so so so valuable to any team … How the @BCCI don’t have him in the top contract bracket is beyond me … !!!!!! #IPL …”
Not only Michael Vaughan but the former national selector MSK Prasad also expressed surprise over Jadeja not being included in top bracket because Jadeja not only plays in all the three formats for the country but also has good ICC rankings.
As of now, Jadeja is everywhere on the social media and this man has to perform well if CSK wants to win the IPL 2021. What do you say?

MS Dhoni must be a happy man as his team Chennai Super Kings has been performing quite well in comparison to the last IPL which was held in UAE due to the coronavirus pandemic. In the IPL 2021, CSK has played three matches and it is sitting at the second position with 2 wins while Royal Challengers Bangalore is sitting at the top spot with three wins in the three matches that it has played.
The last match that CSK played was against Rajasthan Royals and the Chennai franchise won it by 45 runs. Batting first, CSK put up a total of 188 runs on the board in the 20 overs which proved to be too much for RR as it could manage only 143 runs for the loss of 9 wickets in its stipulated 20 overs. The pick of the bowlers for CSK was Moeen Ali who picked 3 wickets in his 3 overs and gave away only 7 runs. Moeen Ali was adjudged as the player of the match as he not only took wickets but also made a decent contribution of 26 runs with the bat.
In an interaction with the mediapersons after the match, the winning skipper MS Dhoni opens up on the matter of his fitness and says that getting old and being fit are two difficult things and though it is difficult to keep up with the youngsters in the team, it will be a big positive for him if nobody is able to call him unfit. Dhoni says that he loves to challenge youngsters but at the same time, he also states that he didn’t guarantee performances when he was 24 and he is not doing that even today but he is trying his best to stay fit as it feels very bad if someone calls him unfit.
Speaking on the match against RR, he says that he is happy as the team got around 180 but they could have scored more. Talking about his bowlers, he praised Moeen Ali for his bowling and added that Sam also bowled pretty well. Dhoni said that the wicket was not only turning but was also getting sticky, he added that even the wet ball was turning which means that there are good chances of dry ball spinning.
The RR skipper Sanju Samson said that his bowlers bowled well but his team gave 10-15 extra runs. He further stated that his team lost many wickets in middle overs which made it difficult for them to win. Sanju also added that he was shocked to see that the ball was turning without the dew.
Do you feel that CSK will win the IPL title fourth time?

Rahul Chahar, the young Indian leg-spinner who plays for the IPL team Mumbai Indians, has been getting a lot of praises because of his wonderful performances in the IPL 2021. Chahar has played an important role in the last two matches that have been won by the Rohit Sharma-led side. Recently, MI defeated Kolkata Knight Riders and the latter would have won that match easily if Chahar had not taken four wickets.
Chahar has been associated with MI for the last three years and the head coach of the Mumbai franchise Mahela Jayawardene is pretty happy with his progress. The former Sri Lankan skipper says that the management is very pleased with the progress of Rahul Chahar as now he has also developed intelligence. Jayawardene says that it is not just about the skills all the time, Chahar is good in improvising as he has developed the ability of changing the game plan or strategy depending on how the batsman is batting.
Mahela Jayawardene adds that Chahar is now leading their spin department and he has been consistent in his performances. Jayawardene said that Chahar was a raw talent when he started playing for MI and though he has improved a lot, he is still a young cricketer. He further said that not just in the IPL 2021 but last year in UAE also, Chahar played well. According to the head coach, though there have been ups and downs in the journey of Rahul Chahar, the good thing is that there is improvement in him every year and he is also learning.
Talking about his bowlers, Jayawardene says that they have been focusing on bowlers a lot as bowlers win championships. He says that they have worked pretty hard in developing such a set up as a team needs to have quality bowling options in all the conditions.
MI will be playing their next match today against Delhi Capitals.

The risk for the world environment is highest from air pollution. Many of our metros like Chennai face air pollution.
What is air pollution?
Air pollution is unclean, unsafe air mixed with dust, smoke or gases.
What causes air pollution?
Air pollution is caused by aerosols of some gases or solid and liquid particles suspended in the air. They can come from factories, vehicles exhaust, dust, wildfires, pollens or volcanoes. Sources of air pollution indoors are detergents, shoe polish, paints and aerosol sprays.
Who is at risk for air pollution?
People living near extensive industrial facilities or polluted urban areas are at the highest risk of air pollution.
Effect of air pollution:
The effect of air pollution is not just some dust on the face or damp hair. The ill effect of air pollution goes far beyond bad hair days and dirty skin. Air pollution also crosses boundaries to affect the entire world. As winds carry some air pollutants, air pollution crosses continents, affecting global weather and climate. The aerosols or contaminants can be harmful to our health. It can cause health disorders like asthma, heart disease and cancer.
Long term exposure to air pollution plays havoc on your skin health. Smog and dust combine with the sun’s ultraviolet rays to create free radicals. These free radicals deplete oxygen levels in the cells of the skin and disrupt the production of collagen. It can result in dry, wrinkled, greyish skin with acne and patches.
If you stay in a polluted city or town, make it a point to have regular health checkup to prevent any health complications. Invest in a good health card so that your financial worries don’t add to your stress.
Protection from air pollution: It is essential to protect your health from air pollution. Eminent dermatologists in Chennai have suggested the following tips to prevent toxins from air pollution from causing health damage.
- Forecasts: Local air quality changes with time due to the impact weather patterns. Educating yourself about air pollution in your area by checking daily air pollution forecasts. You can plan your activities according to the forecasts. Shut your doors and windows when the air quality is poor. Switch on the fans and air conditioners.
- Sunscreen lotion: Use a high-quality waterproof sunscreen with a minimum of SPF 30. Apply sunscreen at least 30 minutes before venturing out. Even on a cloudy day, 80 per cent of radiation from the UV rays reaches the earth. Sunscreen reduces exposure to UV rays and protects against skin damage and skin cancer. Dermatologists in Chennai recommend sunscreen lotion according to your skin type.
- Exercise: When the air pollution levels are high, avoid exercising outdoors. Restrict outdoor activities for your child if air quality is poor. When the air quality is unhealthy, you can work out indoors or in a gym. Vehicles in high traffic zones can create air pollution up to one-third of a mile away. It is better to avoid exercising near high traffic areas. You can walk, bike or jog in areas with less traffic with lesser exhaust levels.
- Carpools and public transport: Walk, carpool or ride your bike to work. Use public transportation like buses or trains instead of driving your car.
- Seasonal products: On a visit to the supermarket, you can pick up a fruit or vegetable or another eatable from any part of the world. Your favourite food items have to travel long distances to make it to your supermarket. While buying these items, you also pay the price for air pollution caused by long-distance transportation.
- Save energy at home: The more you generate electricity and other energy sources, the more you contribute to air pollution. When you reduce the use of energy, you can reduce greenhouse gas emissions and improve air quality. During the daytime, open the curtains and let natural light in. Use LED lights. Unplug appliances that are not in use. Don’t switch on the air conditioners continuously, even in summer. You can open the windows at night and switch on the fans. Learn to use appliances smartly. For instance, your washing machine should be complete before you run it. The same goes for your dishwasher.
- Nutritious diet: A diet that is rich in antioxidants strengthens your immune system. Include plenty of fresh vegetables and fruits, nuts, seeds, yoghurt, eggs and fish in your diet. Eat citrus fruits or drink lemon water to get vitamin C. Avoid processed food, ready to eat foods and reduce intake of sugar and salt.
- Clean filters: Regularly cleans filters of air conditioners and heaters. If your house is exposed to dust, you may have to replace or clean filters frequently.
- Burning firewood: Burning of firewood or trash should be strictly prohibited as wood smoke contains many toxic and carcinogenic chemicals. It releases carbon that can accelerate climate warming.
- Smoking: Smoking can cause multiple health issues and age your skin rapidly. If you are a smoker, please quit this habit. Both first hand and second-hand smoking can cause health and skin damage. Smoking narrows blood vessels in your skin, damages collagen and causes premature wrinkles.
- Air-purifier: Buy an air purifier for your home, especially if you live in a polluted city. Air purifier filters pollen and pollutants out of the air.
- Supplements: Apart from a nutrient-dense diet, you may need to use nutritional supplements to get antioxidants. With age, your absorption capacity decreases. Secondly, the soil has, over the years, become depleted of nutrients due to environmental damage. Your dermatologist may prescribe supplements like vitamin C, zinc, vitamin E and probiotics. With a health card that lets you pay in EMIs, your financial worries are ably looked after.
- Cleanser: Use a mild cleanser regularly and exfoliate your skin twice a week to remove pollutants from your skin.
Make sure to follow all these tips and protect yourself from air pollution. Spreading awareness about air pollution is crucial as we need more and more people working united worldwide to conquer air pollution.

Ben Stokes trolled Gavaskar by tweeting,
“Commentator: “Such a poor bouncer,if you want to bowl a bouncer it must be over Off Stump”
REPLAY: bouncer line directly over Off Stump
Me: 
”
An emotional farewell had been given to Ben Stokes by the Rajasthan franchise as they gifted him RR jersey with his father’s name on it.

AB de Villiers, the former South African cricketer, is certainly one of the best batsmen of the cricket world and recently he has once again shown that there is still a lot of cricket remaining inside him. The 37 years old player has been associated with the IPL team Royal Challengers Bangalore for a long time now and he is also trying to make a comeback in the national team of South Africa.
RCB has won all the three matches that they have played in the IPL 2021 and in the last match against Kolkata Knight Riders, AB de Villiers played a mighty knock of 76 runs for which he played only 34 deliveries (9 fours & 3 sixes). AB de Villiers’ knock helped his team in making a huge score of 204 runs and RCB won that match by 38 runs.
After this beautiful knock of AB de Villiers, the Jamaican sprinter Yohan Blake took to Twitter and he not only praised ABD but also suggested South Africa to include him in their national team. Yohan Blake is an Olympic athlete but he loves cricket as well and this is what he wrote in his tweet, “Wow de Villiers is on a different level. South Africa 
come on you need this man. @ABdeVilliers17 @OfficialCSA”.
The batting legend AB de Villiers who is looking forward to play for SA once again revealed in the post-match press conference that he already had a chat with the head coach of the SA team Mark Boucher and will again talk to him after the IPL 2021 gets over. ABD says that if he gets a place in the national team, it will be really fantastic but even if he is not included in the squad, he is still fine with it.
Earlier Mark Boucher also said that he talked to AB de Villiers before he went to play in the IPL 2021 and the conversation is still open. Boucher added that AB wanted to play good cricket in the IPL and wanted to prove it not just to everyone but to himself as well that he is still an important figure in the cricket world and he can rule at the highest level even now.
Well, AB is certainly a legend and hopefully he will be back in the South African team. Do you want to see him playing again for South Africa?
